The Risks of User Impersonation
The next rung up are User recordings. For users that are having issues, we have concrete recorded data for their flow. The flows would include anything relevant to the application, how they used it, what actions they took. All so we can actually see what happened in context for when there is a problem. No one wants to spend any time looking at recordings if they don't have to. It is also very difficult to identify the root cause of problems by reviewing a recording, but having them is indispensable to your support engineers when they need them, when a user has reported a issue. Solutions include PostHog, FullStory, Sentry. If you don't have these recordings, then the next best alternative (which is very far away) is getting a live screencast from the user. These are less useful, and more expensive to obtain. Worst of all, they can and have been used to breach sensitive systems.

Posthog. Posthog has a lot of sub products but I use it mainly for analytics and session replays. I have to say Posthog is an impressive product. Everything from dev experience to dashboards is just awesome. Great to see GA finally got some real competition. I'm looking forward to try all the other products from them.

How much does it cost to build and run a profitable side project?
After some time, I needed to start paying for my analytics provider, Plausible, due to the increased traffic I was getting. Plausible is a privacy-friendly analytics app that doesn't leverage cookies for tracking. The information it provides can be limited, but it is sufficient for my needs. I use it to see the amount and duration of traffic I am getting from different referrers and countries. Just like Vercel, it can also be a shared cost between multiple projects.

Going open-source as a VC-Backed company
I'm not sure I personally agree with this, and I'm not 100% sure the developer community at-large does either...
Let's take a few examples, which I've shared elsewhere in similar discussions:
- GitLab: Open Source or Open Core? Most would say Open Source, but (I assume) you would argue Open Core [0].
- Plausible: Open Source or Open Core? They say Open Source, but it's actually Open Core [1].
- Cal.com: Open Source or Open Core? They say Open Source, but once again, Open Core [2].
- Posthog: Open Source or Open Core? They say Open Source, still Open Core [3].
- Sidekiq: Open Source or Open Core? Once again: Open Core [4].
Yet, every dev I know would consider these projects Open Source. So there's a disconnect somewhere.
Under this mindset, very few open source startups are actually open source, yet everybody says they are?
I'm not trying to argue either way; I'm trying to point out a disconnect here.

This is funny to me because it also looks just like Plausible Analytics' design. (They also used Tailwind). I guess both took heavy inspiration from the tailwind example design
